I was just wandering if you guys that shoot with a string loop started with a
loop or did you start shooting off the string and then switched to a loop. I shoot
off the string but been thinking of trying a loop. I f you did change from off the string to a loop what has it done for you?

I started shooting off the string but switched to a loop. I like the loop alot better. Mainly because when I am in the stand I hold my bow and keep my release on the string at all times. (it just feels more comfortable). When I shot from the string it kept sliding down and was a pain in the but. I also like it because if I would draw back and let down from the string my arrow would fall off if I would draw again and forgot to check if the arrow was still nocked properly. With the loop I can draw as many times as I want and the arrow stays nocked.

i started with a loop and i will i always use one it just makes more sence to me but that is just me and i have not been shooting long

Well, since I started with fingers I couldn't say. I almost think EVERYONE should start with their fingers. They'll get a true idea of what a nice clean release and a "SO SO" release is like. For accuracy... nothing beats a loop. For becoming the arrow... nothing beats those fingers. That said, I now shoot a release with a loop. Maybe someday I'll go full circle and get back to string plucking.

I also am considering gettin a loop. How long do they last? Also why are they more accurate? Do I need to take my drawlength down? The only thing holding me back is the fact that you cannot easily hook the loop on without looking like you can on a stiff string. Also are there problems getting the loop part pinched in the release?

There was no such thing when I started. I use one now and will always use one.

I started shooting with my fingers then moved to a loop. Now with my current bow I have been using just the string. I'm planning to put a loop on my bow because it 1. feels better 2. accurate release 3. I won't have to worry about my release pinching off my arrow. My best suggestion would be to try all three and decide which feels best to you. String loops are very inexpensive perhaps $10. good luck.

I use one ond wouldn't use anything else unless it was my fingers and a recurve. You get a better and cleaner release, no string wear, draw is directly behind the arrow, no arrow pinching, lighter than a brass nock set. Why there are still people that do not use one is beyond me.

They only cost about $3 for a two pack, or a proshop will cut you a length for about $.50.

I have never used a string loop, but have thought about tyring it.
Does it shorten your draw length about half an inch?
